Immediate aid is badly needed but the catastrophe will continue wreaking havoc on Haiti, just a couple hours off our coast, long after the rubble has been cleared.

Even before the quake, Port au Prince residents, most living on under $2/day, could spend hours walking just to get potable water. What bare-bones infrastructure there was has been completely destroyed. The dangers of water-borne death and disease alone are enormous.
